Often the biggest challenge in community engagement is lack of time and staff to effectively put in place a complete strategy. This starts at the planning stage and is necessary through delivery and into the final reporting and evaluation stage.
What is a community service activity?
What Is Community Service? Community service is work done by a person or group of people that benefits others. It is often done near the area where you live, so your own community reaps the benefits of your work. You do not get paid to perform community service, but volunteer your time.
Can you pay to not do community service?
Often, at least in California, community service is ordered instead of a monetary fine when the defendant doesn’t have any money to pay the fine. Unless you were offered a payment option at sentencing/negotiations, the answer is probably NO. Community service is not a penalty for doing something wrong/illegal.
Why is community important to society?
Having a sense of community unites us. Being a part of a community can make us feel as though we are a part of something greater than ourselves. It can give us opportunities to connect with people, to reach for our goals, and makes us feel safe and secure. It’s important for every person to have a sense of community.
What is the best way to get community service hours?
Here are some of our favorites:
- Hospitals or Nursing Homes. Hospitals and nursing homes are ideal community service opportunities for aspiring doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals.
- Schools.
- Animal Shelters.
- Food Banks or Soup Kitchens.
- Places of Worship.
- Libraries.

- Parks or Beaches.
Can community service be done anywhere?
Generally YES, IF it is true Community Service and not STS (Sentenced to Serve) then you can do it wherever you want generally Probation does NOT have to approve before hand BUT it never hurts to ask your PO first…
What happens if you don’t do your community service?
If you repeatedly fail to attend Community Service, Probation and Parole will make an application to court for a revocation of your Community Service Order. They will state their reasons for revocation in a report that is provided to the court in your breach proceedings. The court will not deal with it in your absence.
